Heat Pump Repair in Fairfax, SC

Because heat pumps run both directions, failures show up differently. We're trained specifically for heat pumps, not just general repair.

General HVAC techs are often less confident with heat pumps since the reversing valve, defrost board, and aux heat strips don't exist on a standard split system. We test each component specifically, since a heat pump issue in January often has nothing in common with the same symptom in July.

Nine times out of ten it's a wiring or staging problem between the thermostat and the control board, and we check that connection directly.

These two components simply don't exist on a conventional system.

Year-round, both heating and cooling mode failures covered.

Not just the mode it's currently running in.
